Why Blow Jobs
A few folk have asked why a blow job is called a blow job when blowing into it is likely to cause
a)embarassment, or
b)an embolism.

The term is widely believed to be a shortened version of 'below-job', which is what prostitutes used to refer to oral sex as a few hundred years ago.

Also (this may be apocryphal), if you happen to live anywhere that has a Grovesner Lane, that will traditionally have been the area where prostitues hung out (The Red-Lantern District if you will). This has apparently evolved from Grope Cunt Lane.

Glad to be of service.

No, you leave class when I say, not when the bell rings!

I always assumed...
...That Grosvenor was from the posh family of Grosvenor who owned loads of land and spread out far and wide.

Are you in fact telling me that the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester should be called the Grope Cunt Hotel? :P

As I said,
could be apocryphal. I saw it on Channel 4 once so must be true!

In York
there is a Grape Lane, which used to be called Grope Lane, and in turn was originally called Gropecunt Lane.

did you know that...
the word "cunt" is actually a reference to the "valleys" of a rope. The valleys are called "cuntlines". Bored sailor....whale blubber...cuntline.
So thats where the word comes from or maybe thats why the valleys are called cuntlines,
Tis all true.
